I'm going to use this thread to inform you guys of any updates to my website.

http://myplace.frontier.com/~usnraptor/

Update: February 21, 2017

- added a folder labeled 'sound'. Inside are three new sounds. ALC.5k is Authenticate Launch Code for nuclear weapon release. KLX.5k is a klaxon horn. TG1.5k is for the Top Gun mission briefing (mission objective page). I used 5k so they would work in the briefings; 11k wouldn't work. .wav files are in the folder for preview.

- updated topgun.mt to play sound file.

Nice work...

FA Futures/FA-2 is Still Being Worked On and Will Be Released...

Thanks for the compliments.

I wish more of the lurkers on this site would converse/participate.

I'm flirting with the idea of building a campaign where the muslims overthrow France. Some of the patriot pilots flee to Belgium with their equipment (by stealing it back), and fight to regain their country back. I'm looking for inspiration for missions so I don't fall into repeating the same storyline as the Taiwan campaign. Usually, I start with a basic concept of the war. Then, while building missions, the story "writes itself".

Well I would have to say Belgium is more in danger of being blown up and overrun by Muslims than France is... The French would likely surrender without a shot fired... But I like the idea of the campaign anyway!

Updated: March 30, 2017

- fixed F4B.PT; renamed F20A.PT to F20.PT; made adjustments to F5E.PT, F5EE.PT and F20.PT.

- created F4D.PT. Linked F4B.SH and _F4B.PIC to it to give it camoflage paint.

- renamed F4C.SH and _F4C.PIC to F4B.SH and _F4B.PIC so they would work correctly.

I appreciate your work.
I have flown some of your single missions and enjoyed them along with your web site.

Best Regards,

Thanks Pappy,

If you enjoyed my single missions, I think you'll really enjoy the campaigns (both my original build campaigns and the modded game campaigns). My single missions are from the early days. I'd like to think I have gotten better at mission building since then.

If any of you guys are/were fans of the original Great Planes / Wings on the Discovery Channel in the '80s and '90s, then check out my new database page. I've listed many of the episodes and provided Youtube links to the ones available.

I viewed them.

Thanks much!

Best Regards,
Pappy
